No man's sky is a really pretty game but the gameplay is so bland and samey to me. I feel like I need more novel stimulus in ideas than "go to planet and do the exact same thing as any other planet"

Did You Know?

you can write your own #irc server in less time than it takes to read the discord privacy policy and terms of service

@technobaboo Oh no the stardust part was a small part of it. I spent more time trying to figure out this monado rokid driver 😅 I think I need to bite the bullet and get a lighthouse based steamvr setup

It's my fault for not sticking to whatever the most popular version of everything is.

Open source VR and open source LLMs are things I enjoy tinkering with but are also things that are a massive pain in the ass to get running reliably. Blew another few hours down the drain trying to get some VR shit to work today with no success. 😭

Sometimes I read SciFi stories with horrible dystopias and think "this seems less stressful than reality"

When I was growing up, I was promised, sometimes implicitly and sometimes explicitly, that if I followed the rules that the authorities told me to follow, the system would grant me a comfortable life.

What I discovered was that the rules are arbitrary and variable and impossible to follow perfectly, the authorities are arbitrary and variable and impossible to understand perfectly, and the promises were lies they told to prompt my compliance with the system.

I'm firmly convinced that at least 50% of online interactions don't have to happen at all. Someone could just see something, go "Huh." and scroll past.

It's like "Could have been an email" except it didn't really have to be anything at all.

babe are you ok? you’ve barely even touched your previous instructions

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

@brandon I'm guessing training a bespoke neural net with reinforcemwnt learning might be better. Might want to train it a bit first but them reward it when it predicts your next move accurately

@brandon That's a really cool idea. Getting the training data might be hard though. You could record a note on what you're doing and save that with the code diff and key strokes I'd imagine. What sorts of edits were you thinking? I regularly get continue.dev with phi3 to do small code edits / refactors

@Irisfreundin @quanten Yeah I think that's the downside of losing context with the "boost" feature on mastodon. Generally folks following me would know the context I'm speaking from already. 😅

@galuf For a second I thought you meant you wanted your infant to grow a third arm 🤣

@nonlinear In my world I see that as still wanting to look like a human but I was thinking natural as in biological processes so I'd say this is at least a super-natural thing and kinda transhuman. I am all for cosmetic surgery and stuff. Power to people wanting to be the human they want to be

I guess most humans are pretty comfy with their physical form or the natural ways to agument it?
